Glen Davis says his left shoulder popped out of its socket on Sunday night

Orlando Sentinel | Dec 16

Glen Davis can’t seem to catch a break.

The Orlando Magic power forward said his left shoulder temporarily popped out of its socket late in the fourth quarter of the Magic’s 101-98 loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder.

Davis dislocated the same shoulder almost one year ago, on Dec. 19, 2012.

Davis left the game clutching his shoulder, and he was checked on the bench by athletic trainer Keon Weise. Davis returned to the court with 13.0 seconds left and set a screen on the final possession, which ended in an airball by Davis.

“I’ll be all right,” Davis said.

In a follow-up question, Davis — who recently returned from a 10-month absence because of a fractured left foot — was asked whether having his shoulder pop out was disconcerting.

“Yeah,” he said. “But I’ve been out of basketball too long to let a little boo-boo hurt me as long as I can use it. It’s going to be sore. You don’t play the game 100 percent. I don’t know a player that plays the game 100 percent. As long as I can move it and it doesn’t stop my motion and I’m not going to hurt it even more by playing, I’ll be fine.”

Davis hurt the shoulder on Sunday when he drove toward the hoop with 2:20 to go and banged into the hoop’s stanchion.
